A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 88: Moving - 1

Lily's confused. His emotions became a little chaotic, and resulted in the aura he had been suppressing fluctuating. Making a mess with the horrors around, the human felt fear from the bottom of their heart.

Even if they don't know where the fear comes from. That horror alone was more than enough to make them want to withdraw from this place as quickly as possible. That feeling is unbearable.

Although that feeling only enveloped for a moment before Lily pulled it back and began to control her aura. However, the chaos did not subside quickly, and all that certainly made things go in a much more difficult direction to be able to find Yurei back.

‘Where is Yurei ..?’ Thinking of this, Lily's brain worked quickly. He started spreading mana around, trying to find any traces that might be left behind. With his control on energy, it was possible and could he do.

On finding another trace of energy, although this was clearly very thin Lily's eyes became as sharp as a blade. With yesterday's events and this evidence, it is clear that Yurei has been kidnapped by a party.

Various possibilities he thought about and found. However, the sheer number of possibilities also made this even more confusing for him.

Gritting her teeth, Lily threw her face at this crowd and walked unconcernedly with the surrounding unrest back to the inn.

“Rion is the only person who can help find Yurei quickly. After all, the function of the bond that is intertwined because [Covenant of the Seed] is not mere nonsense,” Lily murmured.

He had no idea how the other party was able to get Yurei to follow him without any meaningful resistance. Because with Yurei's actual strength, it is highly unlikely that the level of power known to the public at large does that.

However, because they had taken her little one. Lily didn't consider that anymore.

This inn is quiet, not many people who are here when they are at the clock like now. However, it really helps Lily because there is no need for songs jostling with other people. Climbing the stairs so quickly that he made a sound every step of the way, he opened the door and found Rion in his meditation.

Lily calmed herself down, waiting for Rion for a while with the heat of her blood beginning to recede.

Opening his eyes lightly, Rion glanced at Lily. “What's Lily? Isn't it only a while since you came out with Yurei?”

“Rion, Yurei disappeared.”

As soon as this voice fell Rion could not help but show a strange expression. How can Lily who has such terrible control be ‘kekolongan’ so easily?

“How can it happen?”

“It happened when Yurei and I came back from giving some stuff, and you definitely know how big the crowd gathered in the commercial district. However, after I managed to pull over Yurei has disappeared.”

“Without trace?”

“That's how it is, but obviously it's a third-party deed because I found traces of where there even though it was very thin.”

Rion nodded deeply, even if it wasn't Lily maybe they would really lose track. Moreover, the emotions that the girl showed in this case were completely real. Unlike her usual where the emotions in her speech were thin, making Rion sometimes confused as to whether that was what Lily really meant.

“So we have to act immediately,” break up Rion. He also thought about the relevance of this matter to yesterday's events.

“Ya, although I didn't ask.” Mumbling this for a moment, Rion finally said, “We should move immediately before something happens.”

With that, they also came out of the inn. Lily's eyes swept around, trying to find traces of mana were similar but it was extremely difficult. “Rion, can you feel where Yurei is?”

Rion just nodded. Relying on the principle of [Covenant of the Seed] being mutually binding between himself and Yurei. He kept track of Yurei's position. However, he was unable to find the exact position of Yurei, just the rough position where the little girl was.

Even so, it was enough to calm Rion down. Thus, he would be able to do all with some preparations beforehand. Although the presence of Yurei he felt was still faint, he was sure that Yurei was in good shape.

But it was different with Lily. The emotions that filled the silver-haired girl made her very hasty in finding Yurei. Far from his usual attitude.

“Hei Rion's. Where is the exact location of Yurei?” ask Lily for the second time.

Hearing this, Rion tried to calm Lily down. “I know but you have to calm down. For the current state we will not find Yurei if we ourselves panic.”

“Huh ... you're right.” Lily took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. It was true that even if he panicked and wanted to find Yurei soon, but he should still be able to keep his head cool, or else everything might get more chaotic.

After being quite calm, Lily nodded slowly. “Do you have any plans for now?”

“I have but it will take time, hence you must be patient,” replied Rion honestly.

Although he himself can find out Yurei's position more precisely with [Covenant of the Seed]. However, it would cause quite excruciating mental fatigue for her, and this was Rion's special condition that Lily was unaware of.

Under normal conditions, track other parties bound by some kind of contract —be it a contract in general or [Covenant of the Seed]. The need to ensure the condition of the subordinates is the easiest thing.

However, Rion's case was completely other. He can feel a bond with Yurei, but only to that extent. To check even further, it required his mental energy to be used.

Also because Rion himself does not really understand the workings of [Covenant of the Seed] itself —because Lily only provides basic knowledge about its functions— he does not talk about it.

Although Rion had understood the workings of contracts in general. However, because he felt that the [Covenant of the Seed] had a different way of working caused him to still be in the dark regarding the special conditions he was in.

Although Lily was quite disappointed by what Rion had proposed, she nodded in agreement.

Looking at Rion who still wore the same expression as the one that had been shown so far, as well as his sometimes indifferent nature. Lily felt helpless.

‘Rion's troublesome nature has not changed at all. Though I thought she had become more open after everything that happened all this time .. hah ...’

“What's your plan?”

“I'll do a procession of Hide and Seek diagrams. This should be more than enough to quickly find Yurei. Moreover, between me and him has some special interrelations that make this diagram will be very effective.”
